The Washington correspondence Of
the State Register sends that journel a
statement lately made in public b. Col.
Isaac II. Morrow, a gentleman who was
chairman Of the Ohio state central dem
ocratic committee for ten years in which
Col. Morrow says: 81 never scratched
q democratic ticket for forty-two years.
I am and always have been a democrat.
am not an office seeker, and have no
axe to grind, and am simply saying
what think. The democratic party is
wrong, 1t is wrong on the tariff, it is
wrong on the sea coast defense, it is
wrong in its treatment of the treasury
surplus, it is wrong in its conduct OF the
departments, it is as hypocritical in its
civil service policy. it is as rebeliious to-
dav as ever. L am entirely done with
it. Cleveland is an incompetent. He
is unsatisfactory 10 his party and yet
there is not a man in the party with the
ability and the following 10 enable him
To contest for the nomination Of his
party in 1888. Cleveland viii be NOM

and he viii be defeated Eby Allison, OF
Iowa, whom the republicans are sure
to nominate. Cleveland is q nobody
He is an impure man. Allison is a

We are informed by John POpp aud
others, that a lightning rod outfit IN the
country are swindHng farmers. Their
scheme is worked in this way: An ad-
vance agent calls upon the farmer and
offers to put rods upon his house at a
certain price per foot, and tells the
farmer it will cost about so. "WelI''
says the farmer ''if you will rod my
house for $50. all right" and he signs
a contract for rodding his house at SO
much per foot The workmen follow
up, put up the rods and bring in bill
for $50 or 500. They put rods all over
the house, ike the fellow that put
lightning rods on Mark Twain's barn

Coy. Cumback is of the opinion that
the outrageous conduct of the Demo
cratic majority in the Indiana state
senate will make it very easy for the
Republicans to carry that state at the
next election. His judgment is that
John Sherman VIII be a more available
Republican candidate Tor 1888, than
James G. Blaine, and as he is one Of
the most far-seeing and wisest political
managers OF an important doubtful
state. his opinion is certainly entitled to
great weight.-Exchange

Origin of q Famous Poem.

John Glpin's Ride" was composed by
Cowper somewhere about the year 1880 or
1882 and under the following circumstances,
as he told them himself:
While ON a visit TO a friend and admirer,
Lady Austen he was suffering one evening
from excessive melancholy which her lady
ship thought to relieve by relating funny
story. II was a story she remembered from
childhood and which she had often related TO
the little ones gathered at her house. John
Gilpins Ride" she denomnated her tale, and
she went on and told it in bright, sparkling,
narrative style. Its effect on the fancy OF
Cowper was enchanting. On the following
morning he appeared at the breakiast table
with countenance all smiles, and he told Lady
Austen that he had been kept awake half the
night by thoughts of her story, and his invol-
untary bursts of laughter at the comical
scenes flashed back upon him. And he fur
thermore told her that he had resolved to put
it into ballad the general construction of
which he had already in mind. The ballad
was written and given to Lady Austen, and
she insisted upon giving 1t to the publisher of
her favorite newspaper. SO IL found its way
to the public, and afterwards Henderson, the
actor, rected it in his public reading. There
have been various surmises as to where Lady
Austen obtained her hero. Some have
thought he was real parsonage and have col
lected proof to sustain the position, while
others have believed him to have been entire
ly fictitious-a creature of Lady Austens
brain, or mayhap, of the poets own fancy

The Gar and His Adviser.

Prince Orloff was the most trusted adviser
of the Gar, Nicholas l. He owed his Access
sion to favor to blow ofshis fist. While he
was an aid-de-camp one of the regiments had
mutinied and the Car, feeling that a look
would reduce the man TO obedience, stepped
in front of them, accompanied only by Orloff
and asked:
"Have you any complaint, my children
Whosoeyer has anything to say to me, step
forward"
To his great surprise several soldiers did
advance, and one of them lcveled his weapon
at the Emperor. Oroff instantly stepped for
ward and struck the man dead with blow
of his fist The Emperor was gratifled and
Orlotf rose, step by step, until he became
chief of the secret police of the empire, an
official before whom all classes trembled.-
Yet the Emperor occasionally treated him
like schoolboy. AT one time some secret
information in regard to military affairs had
become public property. The Emperor,
vexed at this, sent for Oroff and received him
in the utmost i'll temper.
"What have police for" lie exclaim-
ed.
"Your Males must know that best"
Quite right; only don't know what
twenty-four hours the name of the traitor
who let out the secret, you are cashiered"
"Oh," replied Orlotf, quite calmly, "my
police is so excellent that | do not require
twenty-four hours to give your Majesty the
name of the traitor"
You know him, then You know who
it is?"
II know what know, your Majesty, but
| can only tell it at the Emperor's express
command"
II give you that command"
The traitor whom your Majesty is looking
for is Nicholas Paulowich, Emperor of all
the Russias, who always forgets, when he
talks about State business, and especially
military measures, in the Empress's drawing
room, that all of the ladies of the court pres
ent have not only two ears each, but also
brothers, cousins and relations in the army
to whom they tell everything they have heard.
And every word the Emperor speaks speeds
like wild fire through the city,"
Orloff was not cashiered; doubtless the
Emperor admired his courage in speaking
his mind.

GODS APPOINTMENTS.

Two men went forth, one summer hour.
And both were young and brave and true
Two loyal hearts, two brains of power,
Eager to dare and do.
Each followed right. each turned from wrong
ANA strove his errors to outlive;
Each sought with hope and courage strong
The best life has to give.
For one loves fountain yielded up
~, us sweeteSt-royally be uqaUed;
The other lCPIsk briEualt cub,
A bitter, bitter draught.
One touched but stones. they changed to go!d
-, wealth came and stayed at his commanl;
The others silver turned to mould
And dust within his hand.
The world crowned one with leaves of bay,
HE ate with kings, their honors shared
Inc other trOd barren way
And few men knew or cared.
And this is life; two sow, one reaps;
Two run abreast, one gains the goal
one laughs aloud, the other weeps,
In anguish of his soul.
One seems of fate the helpless toy,
lnoroken ones triumphant chain;
God has appointed one TO joy
Appointed one to pain.
The wisdom that doth rule the world.
Is wisdom far beyond our ken;
Blt when all seems to ruin hurled,
God IS hand is mighty then.
In Gods appointments believe,
Trusting His love, believe in this:
That though from day to day men grieye
And life'ssweet fruitage miss.
10 some glad future they shall know
why one through striving may not win;
Ihe Book of Life will surely SHOW,
Why all these things have been
